Press Availability: Shut Down the Ukrainian Hit List Targeting Americans and International Voices of Opposition

Sept. 5, 2022 (EIRNS)—On Wednesday, September 7 at 11 a.m. EDT, Executive Intelligence Review (EIR) is hosting an international press conference on its just released reports, “Kiev’s ‘Info Terrorist’ List: ‘Global NATO’ Issues Hit on Advocates of Peace,” and follow-up article, "Ukraine’s Deathlist Database: myrotvorets.center," by an EIR Investigative Team.

Scott Ritter, Ray McGovern, Col. Richard Black (ret.), Diane Sare, candidate for U.S. Senate, and other Americans targeted by Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), who have also demanded Congressional action to stop the U.S. funding of the CCD, will be available to speak to the media. Simultaneous interpretation will be available for several languages (for more information concerning interpretation, contact us by email).

The EIR report states that, “Rapid, decisive international action is required to force the closure of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), which operates under and answers to Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council. A blacklist issued by the CCD July 14, 2022, naming more than 70 leading journalists, academics, politicians, military, and other professionals from 22 countries, as ‘Kremlin propagandists,’ is a hitlist, posing a grave threat to the personal security of those named therein.”

And that EIR report further states that it has now confirmed that at least five of those fingered by the CCD are included in the list of “criminals to be eliminated” published by the avowedly fascist “Myrotvorets” gang in Ukraine: Schiller Institute founder and leader Helga Zepp-LaRouche; Schiller Institute spokesman Harley Schlanger; former CIA officer and active anti-war activist Ray McGovern, the co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), who has participated in Schiller Institute conferences; former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter; and former U.S. Congresswoman and Democratic presidential pre-candidate Tulsi Gabbard. The Myrotvorets list is reported to have accumulated nearly 200,000 names since it was started in 2014 and, given the difficulties in using its search engine, others from the CCD blacklist may also be on the Myrotvorets hitlist.

The report documents that, “Although the CCD operates under the Office of the Presidency, it is not Ukraine’s “Ministry of Truth”; it is, rather, Global NATO’s. It is funded and closely advised by the U.S. State Department, British intelligence, and NATO in every step it takes.”

Responsibility for the CCD/Myrotvorets hits, both those which have occurred and those threatened, will rest squarely on those international sponsors—including members of the U.S. Congress who vote in support of continued funding for the CCD operation.

The Dona Nobis Pacem Vigil in Washington, D.C.

Dec. 4—In Washington, D.C. yesterday, a special Dona Nobis Pacem Vigil was held on the Ellipse in front of the tall National Christmas tree across from the White House, by Schiller Institute members and collaborators singing the universally known canon, presenting signs, and handing out a message that the name for peace is that there must be development. Although at midday, and lasting some two hours, the event reached hundreds of people, including visitors from around the world, and the import is international. The effect was not just from the beautiful music, the words of the prayer—“grant us peace”—nor just from the signs, which said, for example, “Bridges Not Bombs,” and “Peace through Development,” and “No Nuclear War.”

Dec. 2—“The notion of the sacredness of the individual person depends entirely upon that person’s potential exercise of creative powers to discover, and otherwise choose those forms of technological practice and other behavior, which have at least implicit benefit for all mankind.”—Lyndon LaRouche, “Historical Statement of Principles” 1976

‘Fool Me Once, Shame on You. Fool Me Twice, Shame On Me’

Dec. 1—It was only two weeks ago when President Biden finally refused to take the final leap with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy’s nuclear gamble. Zelenskyy had sworn with absolute certainty that Russia had fired missiles at NATO member Poland. The West had not let the facts get in the way of previous outrageous provocations, but this was NATO vs. Russia in direct military confrontation, two bodies with large nuclear weapon arsenals. But Zelenskyy’s bluff was called, he was exposed, and the West had the opportunity to take a clear look at what their little Frankenstein’s monster had become.
